Overdenture Stud

Stud precision attachments are primarily used on roots and implants for retaining removable partial dentures or overdentures. All stud attachments MUST be parallel to each other to provide ease of insertion and removal and reduce wear potential. Do not engage labial soft tissue undercuts with the denture base flange, as this will alter the path of insertion and cause excessive wear and servicing requirements. Stud attachments are low in profile to reduce leverage upon the retaining abutments, are easy for patient hygiene maintenance, allow physiologic independent movement of abutments, and are easy to independently service.

The Ceka Revax and the Axial Ceka Revax stud attachments both feature a direct cast to capability. The new Ceka Revax (M2) is the smallest fully adjustable and serviceable stud attachment system. This adjustable spring pin attachment may be utilized as a traditional stud (with cast copings), or inverted as an intraradicular connector for overdentures or removable partial dentures on roots and implants. It may be used for a resilient or tissue born prosthesis, or for a combination abutment and tissue supported prosthesis. The small size allows for usage when space is at a premium–ideal for close bite situations. Clinical, laboratory, and servicing are routine procedures that are adaptable to the individuals needs and/or techniques.

The traditional Ceka Axial has been in use for over 30 years. As a result, it is one of the most widely used attachments in the world. It is much like the Ceka Revax Axial, but for one major difference–the Ceka requires 0.45 mm more vertical clearance. When space is available, select the traditional M3 Ceka as it is stronger and easier to service.

The Preci Ball 22 is a resilient (full rotation) 2.25mm spherical stud attachment. It is a simple, effective systems, with many options to protect the abutments and retain both partials and overdentures. The spherical male attachment is available in a prefabricated orax alloy for soldering, a burnout plastic pattern for direct casting, and also a threaded male for direct casting or soldering. The female is available in a prefabricated alloy and a threaded female. There is also an optional threaded replaceable female.

The Preci Ball allows for an easy path of insertion and removal, adjustable female, and easy patient hygienic maintenance. All adjustments are made in the removable prosthesis. These features allow the dental professional to alter the attachment to fit the patient’s needs, not vice versa.

The O-Ring Overdenture system features simple techniques, low cost, versatility, a pressure relief system for seating, the ability to be used in combination with splinting bars, processing jigs that allow dent-ists to cement the crowns at time of try in and provide simple repair or replacement of the removable prosthesis. The O-Ring is maintenance free…there is nothing to repair except the O-ring, which may be replaced in minutes. The posts are 5.0mm in height, and the actual male component is 2.5mm in height.

The Sphero Flex Post system is an endodontic post rotating ball attachment that corrects misalignment in any plane up to 15 degrees. The advantages of this self paralleling system are the freedom of movement (resiliency) that protects weak abutments, the biocompatibility of titanium, easy conventional techniques, and the small size of the sphere (2.5 mm). Also, no potential debris can enter the female, eliminating potential insertion problems. The female may be seated in the prosthesis, or incorporated in to a cast frame. The posts are available in three lengths– 6.75 mm, 8.40 mm, and 9.75 mm. The 2 degree precision reamer assures accuracy. This system can also be used with a cast coping.

The titanium Sphero Reconstrution kit is designed to allow for a rebuilding of worn spheres in the mouth to restore long term retention and stability for the patient using concave Titanium spheres. Other uses for this kit include increasing the diameter of a small sphere in the mouth or retrofitting an O-Ring attachment to a ball attachment.

Zest Anchor Advanced Generation (ZAAG) is an improvement over the traditional Zest Anchor system while maintaining Zest concepts: lowering the fulcrum (force application), the intradicular female (inside root), and the easy replacement of the male. Advancements allow the male to freely rotate and move within the housing or denture cap, the wide band on the male allows for increased retention and reduced wear (less bending and breakage), the female has a titanium coating for hardness and a smoother internal surface.

After 25 years of use, Zest Anchors has undergone a series of improvements to create the all new Zest Anchor Advanced Generation (ZAAG). Preat has a complete inventory of Zest parts and accessories for servicing existing prosthesis. We recommend the Locator Attachment for all new cases.
